SIX ‘transfer alternatives’ to Benzema for Arsenal to consider in January

The current form of Karim Benzema is unfortunate for Arsenal. The Frenchman is back among the goals at Real Madrid and putting in performances that erases doubt about his future at the club. Coupled with that, it seems unlikely that Madrid will make a big-money signing in January.

Therefore Arsenal will need to look to other targets if they’re to strengthen the striker department. Olivier Giroud has been playing extremely well, but the fixtures in December will offer a good indication as to how far Arsenal can go with just one known striker.

Going into January, and with Benzema likely to be unavailable, these are the six forwards Arsene Wenger should target.
